The RadeonHD Driver Would Be Three Today

I bought my 4870 mainly because of the radeonHD driver. Turns out it took another 6 months or so before I had any hardware acceleration, but I'm now happily on xf86-video-ati + KMS. Can't complain, good enough for workstation use on a 2D non-compositing tiling WM.
er... s/good enough/overkill

I did use it for a while as it was the default driver for Radeon HD cards on openSUSE 11.2. However since it didn't have 3D acceleration support for my card I switched to the radeon driver, and more recently to fglrx. 2D performance was very good though.

I decided to look myself up on the ordered list of users and found myself way down on page 6. Better than page 730 I guess
